For the record, this is not a defense of Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas or of funding terrorists. It is simply an explanation of what is taking place. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that the idea of ending payments to Palestinian terrorists and their families is a challenging one, to say the least. Old habits, especially of hate, are hard to break. The practice of paying salaries to terrorists and the families of “martyrs” is as old as the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which was founded in 1964.

MAY I LIVE IN A WAY THAT REFLECTS THE FACT THAT YOU MADE ME IN YOUR IMAGE? I WAS CREATED IN YOUR IMAGE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS WORLD. THEREFORE, ALL THAT I DO REFLECTS WHAT I BELIEVE ABOUT YOU MY CREATOR AND EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE TREATED AS I WANT TO BE TREATED—WITH LOVE AND RESPECT AS YOU DEFINE THEM.

I WILL TREAT EVERYONE WITH RESPECT AS A CHILD OF GOD.

I AM A CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH KING AND EVERYONE CAN COME INTO THIS SAME RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU THROUGH YESHUA. I AM NO BETTER THAN THEY ARE, FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF YOUR GLORY- ROMANS 3:23.

There are times in my prayer life in which God seems to has me focus on one or two ideas. Today, 6/14/16, it was about living in His holiness as a holy people, called by His name. We are to separate ourselves from the world but how many of us actually consider this to be our mandate? It seems to me that many believers I meet are content to get by with a shallow or minimalistic relationship with God and they treat the relationship more as Him being a friend as opposed to understanding His great power, glory, and holiness. This reminds me of some scriptures—Ephesians 5 and Psalm 101. I ask that you would read these this week and ask God to reveal the things in your life in which you are not separated from the world, but have justified your actions as not being that big of a deal.

An Israeli rabbi is making the case the Hebrew priesthood can be re-established through genetics, making it time to rebuild the Temple.

“Genetics connects modern Judaism to the Bible, confirming 3,000 years of Jewish tradition,” explained Rabbi Yaakov Kleiman to Breaking Israel News. “This is an amazing testament to God’s covenant and the Jewish people. Despite more than 2,000 years of exile, we have maintained our religion, our customs, our Torah, and our genetic identity.”

Where is the one place in America where free speech is commonly suppressed, where there is often as much indoctrination as education, and where radical left ideologies reign almost unchallenged?

It is our college and university campuses. Many of them have become so biased and extreme that even CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, hardly a conservative, excoriated their intolerance. Can our universities be saved?

We’re not just talking about the occasional educational faux pas, such as the embarrassing incident that occurred in 1989 when heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson received an honorary doctorate from Central State University in Ohio.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony in cap and gown, Tyson remarked, “I wasn’t sure what kind of doctor I was, but looking at all the lovely sisters here, I think I’ll be a doctor of gynecology.”

No, we’re talking about a systematic dumbing down and radicalizing of our campuses.

Typical of the dumbing down of our schools was this comment from comedian Kumail Nanjiani, delivering the commencement speech at his alma mater, Grinnell College in Iowa.

He said, “So here’s another concrete piece of advice I can give you – have sex with an immigrant. We’re going through a tough time right now and it would just be really great for morale.”

What great advice from a commencement speaker.

Typical of the radicalizing of our schools were these comments from Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, an assistant professor in African American studies at Princeton. Speaking at the graduation service for Hamilton College in Massachusetts, she referred to President Trump as “a racist, sexist megalomaniac.”
